Data

One of my favourites of the week: This great case study on how Transport for London (TfL) researched passenger movement around tube stations using WiFi data. They also watched how different passengers move between stations when there is disruption on the network. The case study proves how it’s possible to use aggregated, anonymised data to generate insight.

Facebook’s futuristic smart glasses, including patent info and VR/AR (Virtual Reality/ Augmented Reality) combination. Google was so, so close to getting it right with a head-up display unit on a pair of spectacles. It’s also fun to watch Facebook and Snap (who released their own spectacles last year in the US and this summer in the UK) constantly trying to outdo each other.
